One Mouthful Is Quite Enough

While the quote speaks of books, it can apply to so many areas – TV, Movies, Magazines, Music, and even some Preachers.

If I have a joint of meat on my table of which the smell and the taste at once convince me that it is putrid and unwholesome, should I show discretion by eating the whole of it before giving my judgment that it is not fit for food? One mouthful is quite enough, and one sentence of some books ought to suffice for a sensible man to reject the whole mass. Let those who can relish such meat feed on it, but I have a taste for better food.

WOW! That certainly is an eye-opener concerning media. We subscribed to cable in order to watch news and such, but there is so much junk on it that I am thinking of canceling. The kids would not like it.

Thankfully we don’t have to worry about cable. 🙂 Although lately I can’t even stand to listen to the news once at night. It isn’t possible to screen it quick enough to eliminate the “bad taste”. I prefer using the computer to read the news, if I want to, and not being dependant on what the news show gives. If there was just a way to block all ads.

You know I don’t fault the unbelievers for producing trash. They don’t know better until the Lord opens their eyes. However, how can those who claim to believe the Lord of the Bible can do some of the things they do is beyond me. But then so many believers will dig through the garbage looking for savory tidbits when good food is right at their hand. Sad.

First Things First

The most important fact necessary before reading this website is to examine yourself to see if you are a Christian. If you are not a Christian, much of this would be ‘Foolishness’ to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 Cor 2:14 The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

If you are not a Christian then I recommend reading the following:

What is a Berean?

Acts 17:11
"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true." NIV
